EastEnders fans are convinced there’s going to be a murder in Walford next week.
Viewers have flocked to social media to share their theories after it was confirmed that gangster Aidan Maguire will be leaving Albert Square one way or another in the coming weeks.
And with a clash being teased between Aidan and Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter, viewers think Aidan is going to end up being killed – but NOT by Mick.
Instead, the theory goes that Linda will be the one to strike the killer blow, after deciding to take on the gangster threatening her children single handedly.

One fan wrote on Digital Spy forums: “I reckon Linda or Tina accidentally kill him when he hits Mick, then they cover it up.”
A second agreed adding: “Probably Linda accidentally kills Aiden and then Mick, Shirley and Tina cover it up.”
A third said: “I’ve said since Tuesday that Linda is going to kill Aidan. I still think I’m right.”
However, there could be a shock twist as fans think that if Linda does kill Aidan, then it’s ripe for a classic EastEnders Christmas reveal.

And that, according to the theory, could lead to the couple leaving Walford.
One fan wrote: “I think if any main character is involved in his death it will ultimately lead to their exit, it wouldn’t surprise me if Linda was responsible and Mick and Linda leave at xmas.”
However, it’s far too early to say if any of this will happen so viewers will have to keep watching to find out.
EastEnders airs Monday and Friday at 8pm and Tuesday and Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
